What is the correct tongue rest position?
A prerequisite for correct, biological tongue tension and tongue movement is coordinated inner and outer tongue musculature. It goes hand in hand with complicated, precise movement patterns such as chewing, swallowing and speaking. Incorrect tensions can only be corrected through exercise therapies that take such patterns into account. To do this, exercises must not stray too far from the specific range of motion of the patterns. With the FaceFormer training, this is taken into account for the first time.
FACEFORMER therapy is effective against snoring and sleep apnea
In a controlled study (pilot study), the success of FACEFORMER Therapy in patients with snoring and sleep apnea was evaluated. For a three-month phase, a daily therapy of 4 exercise units was required. One exercise unit comprised 20 repetitions of the basic exercise and 20 repetitions of at least one pull exercise. After approx. 3 weeks, when improved nasal breathing could be felt as a result of training, the FACEFORMER was also applied at night. The goal was to get used to nasal breathing.
Finally no more breathing stops
"Already after 14 days there was no more snoring at night and after another 4 weeks there were no more breathing stops."
In a spontaneous phone call to our practice in 2016, the 80-year-old former farmer Karl Kaub from Büren-Brenken told us about his consistently positive experiences with FACEFORMER Therapy.
FaceFormer against snoring with pleasant side effect
This user had already tried various aids against his snoring - all without success. The FaceFormer was to be the last try, and it worked! The snoring is almost completely eliminated and, in addition, there are other pleasant "side effects".
Amazing effect on breathing
For a long time, a patient’s breathing during sleep was influenced by snoring and sleep apnea in alarming extent. Only regular FaceFormer training brought relief. Here, the patient reports the amazing effect that FaceFormer therapy has on his breathing.
Painful tensions in face, jaw and neck
Due to numerous symptoms, including tension and pain in the neck, face and jaw, this user had already been through a long odyssey from one doctor to the next. Then one tiny little thing brought back so much quality of life.
Nasal breathing prevents from dangerous pathogens
The natural breathing through the nose ensures protection against pathogenic intruders. A large part of the attacking viruses, bacteria and other pathogens are already filtered out and rendered harmless in the nose. Mouth breathing is comparatively dangerous. It allows disease-causing viruses and bacteria unhindered access to the respiratory organs.
Sleep Apnea – Treating causes instead of just symptoms
For obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), positive pressure ventilation using CPAP is the standard treatment method. However, due to side effects, patient acceptance of the method varies widely. In addition, studies show that the therapy method cannot fulfill many of the hopes placed in it for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. CPAP treatment only alleviates symptoms. As a purely symptomatic treatment, however, the method cannot replace a causal therapy that attacks the cause of the health disorder.
Healthy nasal breathing works against allergies
People who habitually breathe through the mouth are often plagued by allergies that affect the respiratory tract. They lack important defense functions because the filtering system of the nose remains unused.
FACEFORMER Therapy – Causally against many symptoms
The goal of the FACEFORMER therapy method is to correct the causes of a syndrome (Cranio-Cervical Dysfunction Syndrome, or CCDS for short). Disorders of the two most vital functional systems, respiration and swallowing, cause numerous illnesses that manifest themselves individually in a wide variety of symptoms. The FACEFORMER Method focuses on correcting malfunctions at their cause, stabilizing the biological system and thus eliminating the syndrome itself.
